Unschooling & Letting Go of Obedience with Kris Harmelink

Becoming/Unstuck

Jun 16 2022 • 54 mins

Kris Harmelink, I think you'll find, is disarming in the sweetest way with her steady openness and transparency. She has been so committed to thinning the façade between her and the world that at this point, it's almost nonexistent. When you ask Kris a question, she will give you as honest an answer as is possible for her at that moment. I find this a true gift to the world. A lot of problems arise from the dissonance between what we say is true versus what is actually true. We are notoriously terrible self-reporters... this is why everyone's dating app profile is whack.

This episode is the very opposite of that.

I have admired Kris, and the way she interacts with the world, since the very day we met. The way she shares her values with the world - whether through facilitating group process for adults, or fostering children in the pursuit of trusting themselves - is such a gift.  In this episode she takes us on a journey from "not mattering" as a child, to hating herself as a young adult, to fostering secure attachment in her 20s. In this episode, hear her talk about the unschooling has happened for her, as well as the unschooling adventure on which she about to take off.
